Welcome to Tolam Great Danes, located in North Attleboro, Massachusetts.
My name is Amy Hatol and I raise quality harlequin and mantle Great Danes of sound
mind and body for both show and companionship. My Danes are raised with love in our
home, as a part of the family, and I feel blessed to have them as a part of my life. I have
loved Great Danes since I was a child but it was not until I finally had my own home with
over 7 acres of land that I was able to realize my dream. When I moved in, I found a fawn
breeder and exhibitor who happened to live across town from me and she became my first
mentor, introducing me to the world of showing and prompting me to join the regional
Great Dane club, of which I’m still a member. She got me started in the show ring long
before I ever bred my first litter. I will always be thankful for the honest knowledge and
kind guidance she offered to me. I started out with a male harlequin but it was not long
before I purchased my sweet mantle girl, Mia, who came to be the foundation of my
breeding. From that point on, my desire has only strengthened to be a part of maintaining
this beautiful and noble breed. I have since developed friendships and networks with
many reputable breeders and exhibitors who are involved in showing and breeding
harlequin and mantle Great Danes. They have all, in their own ways, been a wonderful
influence and a fountain of knowledge to guide me in the right direction. In the time I have
spent raising and showing Great Danes, I have come to know both good breeders and
unfortunately, some deceitful and irresponsible bad breeders, and I have learned from
both types of experiences…what to do from the good…what NOT to do from the bad! I
hold the best interests of my Danes and pups at heart, as I am responsible for them and
truly care about them. In my breeding, I strive to produce an all-around dog that will not
only be a wonderful pet, but also be fully capable to do whatever it is that they are trained
to do, whether it is showing, obedience, rally, therapy, service dog, etc.. I always focus on
good health and temperament, correct conformation, longevity and breed type. Danes
from my breeding not only look the way Great Danes should look, but also act the way
they should too, with sweet temperaments and ability to perform. I am proud to say that
from my breeding, I have produced dogs that have shown in both the AKC and CKC show
rings, certified therapy dogs (and dogs who are not formally certified, though do therapy
work), and obedience and rally competitors. My goal is to breed for improvement in each
generation and to consistently produce pups of exceptional quality that will be show dogs
or simply become a cherished family member for years to come. I take my commitment to
quality and preserving the breed standard very seriously. Just as I was given support
when I started, I will always offer my knowledge, experience and support to those who buy
pups from me so they may have the best experience possible with their Dane.
